I graduated from Colby College in 2007 and have been working for Teach For America, an educational non-profit, for the past two years. I am fluent in Mandarin Chinese and, being an ESL student myself, am very aware of the needs of those looking to learn a new language. My teaching/tutoring experience include:
- YMCA English camp counselor in Hong Kong (3 months)
- After-school program tutor for Chinese ESL students grades pre-K to 5th (1 year)
- Teacher's reading/writing aide for third graders (1 year)
I am very patient and laid back in my style of teaching but I do believe in holding students accountable for the goals we set together.
